Coming off back-to-back Pac-10 wins, it appears Arizona State has steadied itself offensively and the team could be poised for a strong finish to the 2006 campaign, something it has experienced and been buoyed by in each of the last two seasons.

The Sun Devils did not lose at home in November of the 2004 or 2005 seasons. Including its two bowl victories, the program went a combined 6-2 over the last two seasons in the months of November and December. The two losses came on the road, at Arizona in 2004 and at UCLA in 2005.
